I_Am_Weasel:"Anna Humphreys, prosecuting, read a victim impact statement on behalf of the goat"

That may not be the full sentence, but it's a better sentence

Let it never been said that there is not progress. 500 years ago in England they put farm animals, including goats, on trial for witchcraft, devil possession, etc. Today, we read victim impact statements in court on behalf of the goat. Is turnabout fair play, even if it happens 500 years later??
